Born and died in Breslau, Adolf Friedrich Hesse studied in 1828–1829 with Christian Heinrich Rinck, a pupil of Kittel, himself a pupil of Bach, and in 1831 became principal organist of the Bernhardinerkirche in Breslau. A virtuoso of the pedals, he played an all-Bach programme for the inauguration of the organ of Saint-Eustache in Paris in 1844; his pupils included Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens.
